7:24 pm
to become suicide bombers. and yet they used black. com for their own propaganda, especially to the outside world for trading this as the paradise point of calling for muslims all over the world and muslims, brothers and sisters, to join the kind of fit to build something new. that was how life has managed to a tens of thousands of foreign sizes. i'll drive it tells us that rocca is still on the safe and judges us to leave. what's become of the terrorist malicious vices after they were defeated. thousands of them were imprisoned in prisons like i'll seen a 2 l surprise we granted permission to fill them inside the prison. the j. o is a breeding ground for isis, explains come on to jamal, see also for the terrorist and he's on easy
7:25 pm
a bounce out visit. the security situation is to tense, he says, and we sent it to my hands are shaking as i hold the camera. the roar of generations, these everywhere, and the stand, she's on bearable. jamal shows us around. suddenly details are still feeling a door opens and i see hundreds of isis prison is crowded together. many of them are injured. some are missing limbs. the space that held in is cramped beyond the leaf by 2 and my camera back on as we into the infirmary, is just one straight to ear of these ices prisoners. the doctors, they treat thousands of inmates in return. they have a little more space under. we're allowed to live together in this room and but us the campus of ship is we set up these prisons under difficult conditions. we

7:27 pm
see something, or you just make your flight to check if there's someone waiting for you, she will take you, and then you will take you over the bottle. so it was something very easy in the the gods they were welcoming you, dest, they're not stopping you, they're not going to any that was something which i think was politically and the benefits of turkey. most of these prisoners have been here or in other prisons in the region for years. no one knows what awaits them. amid this uncertainty, young man in particular, continue to radicalize g, like, you know, it gosh, the kid can available as a new generation of ice is emerging here. one of these people have been imprisoned for a long time flask if they call themselves ash about a caliphate. to the cubs of a caliphate. they were child soldiers between 13 and 18 years old when they came here and how much this thing done and the older prisoners indoctrinate them,
7:28 pm
turned them into committed. i. spiders. they are extremely dangerous. you have to do that. that's the case that i've had good, the prisoners do it as a reaction. i don't know which kind of free action, but it's a defend from one to the other. maybe one along. he really, he really has a vengeance. maybe one us, the able to become more uh, more extremist, you know, maybe some people, they will get crazy. they will lose their minds in the prison. you know? so it would create many bad results. you understand as more of the, extend our, the presence in the, as this presents, this will make more problems, or in a bit of a month. our goal is to return the prisoners to their home country to sleep. but as long as they are here, we have to make sure the presence are secure. the inmates often take tunnels to try and escape the columbus would that come on those days to enjoy the attempt at
7:29 pm
escapes are common, the majesty so far we've always managed to support them. we always discover the tunnels and the time that the one the you're behind the bar, even the most important task with your brothers, we will never forget. and then what i'm literally confused are the we have a king coming coming. we don't know how much longer we can secure the presence of what we have hired more guards, but that is not enough. we need a safer place and have a better monitoring system on them until their home countries take them back on top of your p in spades. yours the legal
7:30 pm

7:31 pm
the 3 or the g. or they have to pay the cost to hold the highest spiders. here wasn't a whole business. any you sonya looking at which i gave up to tier 2. we have about 12000 isis prisoners here. has a real job as economy can't cope with that on its own equipment to kind of look over here over here on which i'm going to go ahead and i'll visit to the prison ends abruptly. jamal thinks it's too quiet and something must be about to happen. it feels like the calm before the storm. we have to leave we want to learn more about the feelings against our assessing range of what traces has it left here. we had to come bonnie new the to the syrian border. it was here that bias was pushed back for the 1st time, the beginning of its downfall. in september 2014, the jihad has launched a massive attack on the city. the code, each point is put up, see us resistance, the east met house on organized the defense of the city.
7:32 pm
how about uh, set it does say all the might be, it is good. isis going through the taxes from 3 signs of what we wanted to push them into the city. it's narrow streets just because that's where we have the best chance with the modest weapons we have. we look, let's see that you've shut the. we learned that people here are especially proud of the young women whose forward against isis in was java . y p j, the women's protection unit. so the female advocates within the y p g they had a very important role when it came to the bed of co, bonnie because these women are very dedicated. they know when of a they are being captured, buys fighters, they will be violated, they would be, wait, they would be killed. so they have a very committed in this fight. we meet one of them. fuck my last and in the battle. today she helped support others wounded in the funny thing. like many
7:33 pm
here, she's still haunted by memories to go and the good and the basically they kept shouting. if we catch you, we will eat you because know all the time they were calling us names or whether you like it or not. you cannot escape fear in battle. how did you become? and that is why you mustn't turn it into courage and faced it. his head on, you're aware that the people who live here depend on you. if you give up, they will suffer for them and they will be hurt. that's why you have to fight. as i'm sure you will get the measured version for this should have received the why was i so so able to become so powerful in the 1st place. and what role did neighboring turkey play and it's rice, isis, a tech, the kurtz to take over co. bonnie chucky was standing by not helping the crowds
